Until dawn comes we cannot speak.
No words can come from this sad beak.

The first thing you read contains the clue:
An initial way to speak to you.

Inside these letters the eye will see
Nearby are your friends and VFD."

If you read those poems you will find the word FOUNTAIN. Now all of these notes should make sense
